The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Just when Joey mentioned the legend of the origin of their world, Leo thought of something that was not very good for him. He found that he had been tricked unknowingly when he was in the crystal spaceship.

In the crystal spaceship, he obtained a lot of information about the Via people from the bionic intelligence, but he did not realize the most critical content at all, that is why humans and human hybrids reproduce in different worlds, and the survival of other races What happened to the latter and so on, and what's going on with the place where it all ends and these different worlds that surround it?

With the current situation of bionic intelligence, she definitely knows a lot of secrets about this world, but she didn't say anything, and judging from her subsequent performance, she seemed to stop the conversation very decisively in order to prevent Leo from waking up from the language trap , and sent Leo out of the crystal spaceship.

Although he doesn't know what the bionic intelligence is worried about, Leo can now feel that there may be a lot of secrets hidden in it, but he doesn't know how to get started. Now that Joey mentioned the origin myth, he feels that this may be a breakthrough.

Although the origin legends of all worlds will become unrecognizable after years of dissemination and adaptation, there are more or less real things in them, and many people in each world will explore their own origins. , actively collect a lot of things about his own origin, so Leo can use these human and material resources to save himself a lot of time and experience, just like Joey now.

Joey mentioned the Thieves Alliance he belongs to. This Thieves Alliance is a huge underground force in the world he lives in. It controls the underground trading market of the entire world. Naturally, there are a lot of contraband and rare items in this market. With Joey's status in the Thieves Alliance, he should be able to collect useful things.

"You also want to find something related to the origin myth?" Joey couldn't help being stunned after hearing Leo's words, and asked in doubt.

Leo asked: "What? Have you met other people who are also related to the origin myth of your world?"

Joey explained: "The Frost Duke of the Kingdom is very obsessed with the origin myth, and he specifically asked various forces in the kingdom to help him collect items related to all origin myths."

"The Duke of Frost?" Leo thought for a while and said, "Has he always been interested in the origin myth?"

"No, the Duke of Frost used to be a dude who only knew how to hunt and catch savages, similar to other nobles in the northern kingdom." Joy shook his head and explained: "He suddenly became interested in the origin myth two years ago Yes, not only spending a lot of money to collect items related to origin myths, but even specially sending Humanitarian Bachelor City to hire several bachelors with high salaries to teach him various knowledge related to ancient languages ​​and origin myths."

Although Joey just explained it casually and didn't reveal much, Leo felt faintly that the Duke of Frost might have obtained a high-tech item related to the slave ship back then and could use it. This made him give up all his past hobbies and devote himself to collecting items related to the origin myth.

Leo suggested: "If you have the opportunity, you can cooperate with the Duke of Frost."

Joey shook his head and said: "Impossible, those noble gentlemen will have nothing to do with us low-level people. They will only think of us when they need us to do dirty work."

Leo smiled confidently: "Don't worry, as long as you try your best to collect items related to the legend of the origin of your world, I believe that Lord Duke will take the initiative to contact you."

Joey was silent for a while, nodded and said: "I agree to your request, but I have a question, how can I hand over the things I collected to you?"

Leo thought for a while and said, "Just collect as much as you can. If we still have a chance to meet, just leave it to me."

"Is that okay?" Joey didn't understand what Leo was thinking at all.

He didn't know that Leo had a speculation and idea that sounded extremely absurd in his mind at the moment, and he became a test case for Leo to test this idea.

In fact, when Joey introduced their world in the chat, he once mentioned some geographical knowledge of the Northern Kingdom. Although there was little, Leo listened carefully. He found that the plants that Joey mentioned were concentrated in the Northern Kingdom It is very similar to animals and several plants and animals in the Velen world. It can almost be said to be the same species, but with different names.

This information made him guess. He guessed that the world of Joey, the world of Seledore, the worlds of those barbaric berserkers, the worlds of white church nuns and knights, etc., are actually the same world. , It’s just that this world is too big, so big that even if these worlds have developed for tens of thousands of years, they don’t know that other worlds exist.

This is not Leo's wild imagination, but there are some vague clues that can be connected. For example, when Joey mentioned their world, he said that they don't know where the boundaries of the world are. There are endless mountains and forests. Even after so many years, countless people have been dispatched, but they have not been able to find the boundaries of the world.

The world of Theredor is similar. Their world is covered by endless forests and deserts. All people who enter the forests and deserts either disappear without a trace or come back alive. Boundary's answer.

The situation in these two worlds is very similar to the Vinylon world where Leo lives. In the Vinylon world, even if the steam machinery has been developed to the point where it can manufacture steamships and steam airships, it is still impossible to find the footage of the ocean. The number of people is unclear, but what is at the end of the wasteland is still unclear.

The combination of all kinds of similar situations made Leo have to guess that the world of Seledor, Joey's world and Velen's world are actually the same world, and it is even more likely that the so-called dream world is actually in the same world. a planet.

This kind of speculation is also not aimless, because the situation in the dream world is similar, but the dream world is shrouded in thick fog, unable to pass through the thick fog, and naturally find the boundary.

As for the dream world is always in the night, there is no day, it can be explained by the fact that the dream world is on the back of this extremely huge planet. Other planets only need one day, one week or even one month to rotate, but it may take hundreds of thousands of years for this huge planet to rotate once. It is more likely that the frequency of rotation and revolution is the same, making the back of the planet forever In the dark, this kind of situation is not unprecedented in the universe.

The day and night of the Velen world can also be explained, that is, there must not be only one satellite around this huge planet. The satellite will enter the night when it blocks the sun, and it will become day when the satellite leaves the sun.

Although it sounds absurd, similar situations are actually not uncommon in the universe. The wonder of the universe cannot be weighed by human thinking.

"However, I need to leave a mark on you so that I can find you." Leo continued.

Joey hesitated for a moment, but finally, under the temptation of being able to possess extraordinary power, nodded and agreed.

Leo was also very simple. He stepped forward to grab Joey's hand, and then directly stabbed a pattern on Joey's arm through psychic power. This pattern will not be seen by ordinary people, only psychics can feel it.

"Is it that simple?" Joey couldn't feel the fluctuation of spiritual energy at all, but saw Leo casually touching his arm, and then let go of his hand.

"As long as it is within my detection range, I can know your location." Leo nodded and explained briefly.

The method used by Leo is not the power of Turing radicals and magic runes, but very pure psionic skills. This psychic skill is called Life Mark, and it is a psychic skill that can be used by level-3 psykers, but it needs a level-5 psyker to fully use it.

The function of this psionic skill is very simple, it is able to know whether the person with the mark is still alive. This mark cannot detect the owner's physical condition, location and other information. It just lets the person who casts the mark know whether the mark owner is alive. Once the mark owner dies, the mark will disappear and the induction will be cut off.

This psychic skill has no effect on the vast majority of psychic users, so this skill will be placed in the public document, seen by Leo, and become one of the few regular spiritual skills in Leo's psychic skill library. skills.

However, this psionic ability is very useful in the current situation, and the reason why it is useful is because the range of action of this psionic ability is really large. In the galaxy, the existence of the imprint can be vaguely sensed.

Although the planet in Vinylon World is huge, it is impossible to hit a galaxy no matter how big it is, so as long as Leo's deduction is correct, then he will definitely be able to sense the life mark on Joey in Vinylon World.

After applying the mark, Leo immediately sensed the existence of the mark. Although the two were close at hand, the sensed mark was still very vague. If you didn't pay attention, you would think it was an illusion.

"Is this all right?" Joey looked at his arm and asked doubtfully.

"Yes, it's ok." Leo nodded and said after confirming the effect of the mark.

"Then I..." Joey looked at Leo hesitantly.

"I can give you the power you want right now." Leo knew what Joey was thinking, and said, "I will give you two kinds of power, but you can only choose one right now, one is power, and the other is power. One is agility."

"I choose agility." Joey gave the answer without even thinking about it. He has been on the streets for many years and he knows what is most important to him.

"Okay, you can lie down!" Leo signaled Joey to lie on the stone platform beside him, then asked him to take off his shirt, followed him to his side, and groped carefully on his back.

Leo said that being able to give Joey extraordinary power is not just talking about it, but really being able to do it.

There are also many Biajies living in the Earth Federation. Their ethnic group is also very large, and they must serve in the military. Develop mechanical armor and sensor systems that can match the Bia Street people.

However, when developing the mechanical armor specially used by the Biajie people, the human biological scientists at that time accidentally discovered something more useful to the Biajie people, which is the sporangia.

The biological scientists of the Earth Federation discovered that at least two spore-like organs would grow in the spine of the Biyaji people. At first glance, these two organs looked like sporocyst-shaped tumors, but as the research deepened, the biological scientists discovered that the spores A large amount of biological hormones that are very effective for the Biajie people, or only for the Biajie people, are actually stored in the sac.

After the release of this naturally produced hormone from the body of the Biajie, it will prompt the Biajie to enter a secondary development state similar to life evolution. After the development is completed, the Biajie will start from two Gain several times the strength and agility in each sporangium.

Moreover, this secondary development will not disappear. As long as there are sporangia, it can continue to undergo secondary development. According to Leo's knowledge, there was once a Biajie who had thirteen sporangia, which made it After thirteen times of secondary development, the physical strength he obtained in the end is extremely terrifying, even if he confronts a fourth-level psyker face to face, he will not be at a disadvantage.

It is not that the scientists of the Earth Federation have tried to study the ingredients in the sporangia to see if humans can also use them, but the final result naturally ended in failure.

It is actually very simple to release the sporangia, just try to puncture the sporangia, but the sporangia grow inside the spine, surrounded by countless nerves, it is almost impossible to destroy the sporangia through physical methods. But for a psychic user, this matter is very simple. It only needs to let the psychic energy enter the opponent's body, and directly cut through the spore sac.

Just when Leo recalled the process of breaking the sporangia, Leo had already found five sporangia on Joey, which meant that Joey could complete five evolutions.

Leo found the nimble sporangia among the five sporangia, and squeezed it lightly with spiritual energy. Joey let out a painful groan, and the sporangia burst open under the action of external force, and some liquid flowed out. , quickly integrated into the surrounding nerves and blood vessels, and transported to various parts of the body.

Just a moment ago, Joey was in extreme pain from the rupture of the sporangia, wishing to die, but the wonderful feeling brought about by his physical evolution the next moment made him forget what he was doing, and lay quietly on the stone platform with his face He also involuntarily revealed a comfortable expression.

It took a long time before he recovered from the wonderful physical and mental feeling of body evolution, and then recalled his expression and actions just now, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Afterwards, his attention was attracted by the changes in his body. After getting off the stone platform, he couldn't wait to test his agility, and he soon discovered that his speed, reaction and other physical qualities had all improved. A lot, better than he expected.
